Re: [New] F400 Ranking [Updated 09-01-12]

What do you think about adding another column "rating +/-"? no change is not telling if any clan just got closer to the clan above him. Would be cool to see it as well.

I'm not strongly opposed to it, just adds a little time to collect / create the data. I figured having all the previous F400 ...

Re: [Abandoned] - Second Indochina War

Too bad nobody liked this idea enough to pick it up again / promote it. I'd gladly trade the medal I recently acquired for my work on the Algorithm of 400, and all my other medals and score and bird, just to see that all the time I spent on this project was not wasted. So if anyone in the community ...

Re: F400 Ranking [Updated 01-01-12]

What are the requirements for a clan to appear on this system?

SOH completed a war and 2 rounds of the ACC last year, their first year of excistence. Adding this incase its as simple as must have completed x number of wars.

Let me give an overview:


The Algorythm is awesome .

If it reflected the value of a win per se as well as everything it already does it would be even more awesome .



A valid concern. Actually the algorithm does take this into account.
This is what it looks like on my page:

Gunn217, you are doing a great job. I'm glad that our work (Gunn, jigger, jpcloet all contributed in various ways) hasn't been in vain. I'm sorry to have left you and the community hanging so long.

Re: Algorithm of 400 Clan Ranking (Sep 30, 2011)

Question... How did you come up with all the up and down numbers. Seems like a ton more down than up. Should those not be even?

No, if someone jumps up there is at least 1 falling down, but in reality there are always more.

Also there are those NEW! that also upset the ranking.

Exactly. As ...

Yeah, obviously it will be a bit troublesome tho considering the rest of us did all start at 1k, so it seems weird if other new clans started below that, but it's also seems unfeasible that a clan seemingly pops up into the top 16 automatically upon creation. I assume the weighting system etc is ...

Ok I did a thorough search of all the abbreviations used, just to ensure that all wars are attributed correctly.
I fixed those wars I mentioned in the previous post.

Turns out, 1st Regiment Foot Guards: Grenadier Guards was going by two different abbreviations: 1RFG and GG. So now I've changed all ...

Re: Algorithm of 400 Clan Ranking (Sep 30, 2011)

One thing I just noticed is that in the update Gunn sent me, Devil's Brigade is TDB. I'm assuming that is Devil's Brigade. I was calling it DB so my parser will consider TDB as a different clan. So this war was not calculated properly.
This will have had a minor effect, as any new clan is considered ...

Re: Algorithm of 400 Clan Ranking (Sep 30, 2011)

The ACC probably doesnt have much affect on the rankings, since we beat Koa yet we dropped a few spots and KOA debuted on the list higher than us.

This system is not a leap ladder. This system takes all games within a 2 year window into account, with a decay factor. So just because clan A beats ...

The ACC isn't carrying as much weight, that's right. And the first round carried even less since there were a lot less games than normal wars.
